THIS Branch of the family of DE BURGO deriveš

from Sir Edmond (Albanach, or the Scot, fo ftyled be cause he was an hoftage in Scotland for 22 years) the first, who bore the title of MAC WILLIAM OUGHTER, fecond fon of Sir William de Burgo Fitz-William, and grandson to William, Athankip, and younger brother to William, the firft MAC-WILLIAM EIGHTER of Clanrickard, who were fo diftinguished, as the defcendants of William FitzAdelm, their prime ancestor, in the following manner.

Upon the murder of William de Burgo, Earl of Ulfter, in the year 1333 (as mentioned under the title of Clanrickard) the family of the Bourkes feeing their chief cut off without iffue male, and no man left to govern or prote& that province, intruded into all his lands, which, by reason of the minority of his daughter and heir-general, ought to have been vefted in the crown; and within a fhort time, two of the most potent divided that great feigniory between them; the one taking the name of MAC-WILLIAM EIGHTER, that is the upper, nearer, or fouthern, Mac-William; and the other MAC-WILLIAM OUGHTER, the lower, farther, or northern MacWilliam: But being fenfible that they were only intruders during the minority of the heir, they knew that the law of England would fpeedily evict them, and therefore held it their best policy to cast off the yoke of English law, and to become mere Irif; which they did accordingly, and by their example drew all the English of that province to do the like, changing their names, language and apparel, with all their civil manners and cuftoms of living, fuffering their

their poffeffions to run in course of Thaniftry and Gävelkind.

Sir Edmond (Albanach) by this means acquired a very large feigniory in the county of Mayo; but in the year 1338 being the chief murderer of Edmond, fon of Kichard, Earl of Ulfter, at Loughmeafg, he thereby occafioned great disturbances, with almoft the deftruction of the Bourkes and the English in Conaught, by enabling Turlough O Conor, King of that province, to affume the fuperiority; for, affifted by William Prendergast and others, he forced Sir Edmond to fly into Ulfter, who thence retired into Scotland, where his former refidence had procured him many friends, by whofe affiftance he returned the next year with a confiderable force, on board a number of small fhips and barques, and landing part of his men in Irrás, a Peninfula, and part in the Owles, a tract of land, both in the county of Mayo, he marched to Carrow and Kilmaine, and at length repoffeffed himself of his faid feigniory. After which he performed many good fervices to the crown in Ulfter, and in confideration thereof, on 10 March 1342 (17 Edw. HI.) had a remittance of 41. due to the King. He gave the fourth part of the land, called Ardnagrofs, to God, and half the town of Lidflachane to the monastery of Conge; and died an aged man in 1375. His first wife was Sabina, daughter of Dermot O Maly of the Owles, where he met with a fafe reception whenever he was overpowered; and his fecond Finola, Daughter of Donogh O Kelly chief of his fept, and by her, who died in 1385, he had three fons, Sir Thomas, his heir; Ulick, who died in 1369; and William (Saffanagh, the Englishman) who died of the small-pox at Iniskwa in 1368.
